High-rise
Apartment and tower removals
Lift bookings, dock slots and building rules worked through in advance, so the crew isn't standing in a basement waiting for a lift.
Footscray · VIC 3011
Footscray moves increasingly start in a tower — a booked lift, a loading dock with a time slot, and a basement entry most removal trucks are too tall for. Ours is 3.1 metres. It usually drives straight in.

What we move
A one-bedroom in a riverside tower, a share house near the university, a weatherboard off Barkly Street, or a shop near the market. Same crew, same truck, no subcontractors.
High-rise
Lift bookings, dock slots and building rules worked through in advance, so the crew isn't standing in a basement waiting for a lift.
Students
A room or two at the start or end of semester. Often fits inside the two hour weekday minimum if you're packed when we arrive.
House & unit
Weatherboards and brick homes in the older streets, where it's parking rather than lifts that sets the pace.
Furniture
Blanket-wrapped and strapped on a carpet-lined truck, dismantled at pickup and rebuilt at delivery — often the only way a couch fits a lift.
Office
Around the market, Barkly Street and the Nicholson Street mall, timed for before or after trading.
Packing
We pack and wrap so it's covered under transit insurance — customer-packed boxes aren't.
Why truck height matters here
A truck that can't get into the loading dock parks on the street. Then every box crosses the footpath, through the lobby and into a lift that someone else is also waiting for. That's where apartment moves lose hours.
Fits most docks and basements. At 3.1m we clear the entry heights that turn full-size trucks away.
Shorter carry to the lift. Loading in the dock means the lift is metres away, not a lobby and a footpath.
Built for time slots. Buildings often allow a fixed window. We plan the arrival to start on time.
We check first. Send us your building's clearance and rules and we'll confirm the truck fits before you book.
